I've been toying around with the idea of tearing apart a game console controller and making something modular like this for my computer...I'm glad to see the technology forwarded and hope it doesn't get snatched up by sony alone.
I consider android-esque robots to be both fascinating and utterly terrifying. It's an impressive technology, and the uses for it are nigh endless. However, putting robots into the hands of the average american? America has been a DIY nation from the start, so it's feasable that the technically savvy/wealthy crazies out there would be able to modify or buy modified robots. They could make armed robots with a skin (ever seen those "real dolls"?)that could resemble a human from a distance or to a glancing eye, or who knows what else.
I don't think they'll rise against us, I just don't want people to have them.
Interesting, I recall my playstation two breaking itself twice, ruining my soul calibur disc as well as my disgaea disc.
so far, with the hardware problems, microsoft is following closely in sony's footsteps.

hmm, does microsoft still make upgraders insert the old cdroms so that it can "verify" your old license?
yes.
